Improvement of Saccharum robustum, a wild species of Saccharum through repeated cycles of intra-specific hybridization and selection was undertaken at ICAR-Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore during 1987-1996. Thirty four clones selected from six polycrosses involving 13 clones of S. robustum constituted Cycle 1 (C-1) hybrids. Inter-mating amo...
Improvement of parental clones of Saccharum officinarum L. through repeated cycles of intra-specific hybridization and selection was undertaken at ICAR-Sugarcane Breeding Institute (SBI), Coimbatore during 1987 to 1996. Thirty one clones selected from six polycrosses involving 13 parental clones of S. officinarum constituted cycle 1 (C1) population...

... Intraspecific/intergeneric improvement of the species clones has been the norm with these improved clones being used as parents in commercial crosses , Nair et al., 2017. Utilization of improved Saccharum robustum clones, S. officinarum × S. robustum clones etc., have been documented in India, too, with an increase in sucrose content up to 26% in these improved clones (Karuppaiyyan et al., 2020, Alarmelu et al., 2014. These can be directly used in commercial crossing programmes. ...

... In the case of S. officinarum, emphasis was given to improve cane yield attributes as most of the parental clones in this species possess relatively higher sucrose content but are lower in cane yield. Intra-population improved YLD free population improved S. officinarum (PIO) and population improved S. robustum (PIR) clones were identified for use in in the interspecific hybridization (Karuppaiyan et al. 2020). Alarmelu et al. (2018) identified a high sucrose BC derivatives (1-69) from the PIO x PIR cross with sucrose content of 20.26% at 12m. ...
